De Efteling BV

It's a really great fairytale themed park, great rides and attractions for all ages. Mom

good amusement park with nice roller coasters and quite greenery in side.

Magical theme park based around fairy-tales and local myths, which is one of the best in Europe. The park has a strong family focus based around storytelling and nostalgia, situated within a forest with beautiful landscaping.

Efteling is my favorite theme parc of al time. I've been coming here all my life and I feel amazing every time I wall through the gates. There's thrilling rollercoasters, enchanting attractions and also the always amazing fairytale forest.

Perfect day for all the family. Lots to do for a return visit. Dont have to pay for anything else once you have bought your entrance ticket. Unlike lots of other theme parks. Apart from food and drinks which can be found from a very wide range of cafes etc scattered all over the park at reasonable costs.
Long queues though for some popular rides. Staff friendly and helpful.

Nice place to enjoy with kids..although crowded yet they are organised..worth the price..similar to Disneyland...

Lost my ticket on the way to the park. After spending some hours in the park, my lost ticket was reported to be found. They called me, and I got the money returned. Great service, and a lovely park visit

Expensive ! Crazy waiting times ,1.5 hours before entering an attraction.

Love it. My 9 year old twins had a blast and also my 2 year old boy was super happy.

Truly magical at winter time.
The fresh stroop waffles were delicious and the fountain show was truly spectacular.
Cannot wait to visit in the summer.

Somehow my kids did not really like the fairy tales part ( 3 and 4) but were super happy with the rest of the parc. Overall we spent an excellent day there!

Super fun for all ages, my family ranges from 2 - 48 and we all had an amazing day

This famous Dutch theme park has a lot of accessible locations, attractions and helpful staff will make sure everyone has a good time. Focus mostly on wheelchair access.

Themes are awsome here, i loved it, did not wanted to go it was beautifel.

Great family day out. Good app to use too to locate rides in the park. Plenty of food huts and places to sit. One of the big rides (think it was the wooden one) was closed when we were there with no explanation as to why- no signs and nothing on the app. Dissapointment but the rest of the rides were good.

Lovely, magical and highly enjoyable by fantasy-intrigued adults too :)

Full on entertaining place for any age person, best amusement park in the country. It's in the bucket list of each an every person who visits Holland/Netherlands. Get a full day and visit you will enjoy each and every ride available over there. My personal experience is that try to go on a non holiday as waiting time will be less and you won't get tired. Few highlights of the park are Python, Baron 1898, Symbolica, Joris en de Draak(wooden racer roller coaster), Vogel Rok(roller coaster in the dark), Pagoda. These are few names but most popular ones so try it yourself and get mesmerized. Ticket for and Adult is 45 as of now it's better to book it online and get a slot. Enjoy

Excellent place, well organized.
lots of attractions, if you want to eat healthy food you should bring it with you.

This is a magical place that everyone will love, everyone will find something for themselves. Fun, good food, great atmosphere, I recommend it to everyone.

Lovely theme park, grounds are beautifully kept, rides are fun and good variety. Entry is expensive, but food and drinks are good value

Amazing theme park..worth to visit...weekends overcrowded...spend more time in queue then inside attraction..

I love the Efteling. Excellent place to enjoy with or without kids and have a lot of fun!!!!

Efteling is a fantastic theme park with a grand old school fairytale feel to it.

There are several types of rides and sightseeing locations for both thrill ride enthusiasts and fans of more calm rides. Personal favourites include the Dreamflight and Symbolica rides, former which is great if you are a fan of 80's fantasy movies like Dark Crystal and Neverending story.

There is much to see besides just the rides, with walk-in attractions, food carts and the fairytale forest.

Recommended for both young and old audiences who enjoy stories, rides and old Disney.

An old style theme park with some cool rides and a ton of thematic material. Great for families looking for some neat rides and a magical atmosphere. Not the best around, really, but this place runs on nostalgia and it does what it want to do amazingly well.

You'll find everything you need here - exciting attractions as well as nature and many good rides suitable for children. All embedded into fantastic stories and surroundings...

An amazing theme park located next to Tilburg. Its totally worth going to. You have a lot of attractions, restaurants & beautiful paths to walk on, with a lot of themed parts around it.

I like this theme park very much i think even its better than Disneyland ..you pay a lot of money for Disneyland and you cannot play almost with anything its because tooooo crowded !!
I went to Efteling last time with my daughter on Wednesday and it was great not crowded.
worth it !

Haven't been here in a long time. Honestly if you come once in a while it can be amazing.

Nice theme park! Worked really well on their Covid-19 security. Extra space for waiting lines, clear indications for keeping distance.

Unfortunately not all the people follow these rules.

But still a good day and fun experience!

I mean, what can I say? It's a wonderful place to be. A must visit, in my opinion, but I might be a bit biased as I've been here a lot over the years now. Can a bit pricey, but there are often a few deals around and you get your money's worth, a day filled with good experiences. Note worthy is that food's getting better and better, with more freshly made things on offer.

Easily one of the best theme parks in Europe (probably the best for families). Fantastic selection of coasters (Joris en de Draak and Vliegender Hollander in particular), loads of great dark rides and a brilliantly landscaped park. Aquanura and Raveleijn are the best shows I have ever seen, they are truly mesmerising. Parking is a little pricey (currently 10) but this seems to be quite typical for Holland. Price of parking and entry I feel is justified for the quality of the attractions and the opening hours. I got in free with my Europa Park and also Phantasialand annual passes, a nice bonus you may not know about.

Best theme park around, with due praise to the stiff competition

The best place for kids and grown ups. You have everything for all ages. Our 16months old baby loved it. You need hovewer 2 days to visit it completely. If you cannot find any rooms available at their hotels go to NH Waalwijk. Efteling is the Disneyland of Holland just that it's 10 times better

Nice place for visit with kids, though not possible to visit even half in a busy day:)

Efteling is such a big fun beautiful place to go with friends,family and alone. It's a great experience.

Amazimg place really enjoyed would be nice if the bosrijk houses were better equipped for example 6 glasses in a 6 person house and it would be nice if the douvet was thicker and not very good pillows.

Amazing theme park, workers are really accomodating and the rides are great.

Efteling is a surprisingly big and awesome theme park. We weren't sure what to expect, since we're mostly used to Disney parks. This is like Disneyland but with a lower budget for attractions and more areas of natural, foresty beauty. The attractions are really charming and unique (not all just Disney rip offs like some theme parks) with a definite preference towards dark rides over thrilling rides. The Baron 1898 coaster was fantastic with an incredible drop and cool theming though it was very short. Fata Morgana is kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with Sinbad. Dream Flight is a very unique dark ride that was cute and would be good for kids who really like fairies. Villa Volta is fun and surprising, and Carnaval Festival is like their version of It's a Small World. The food in the park isn't that great so don't have high expectations there. Oh, and the show Caro is great, I highly recommend it. Overall, don't expect the same kind of quality as Disneyland but Efteling has its own charm and magic. We were pleasantly surprised by it. We stayed at the Efteling hotel which was a nice experience and very convenient for the park. I recommend staying only one night and getting the two day park tickets.

The park in one word is fabulous. Every thing is well organised. Parking is plentiful, the staff very helpful and attentive. The pricing is spot on. Not expensive at all. Very attraction is well looked after. Clean, food selection is great. You will need at least 2 days to complete the park rides ect. Again mega!!!!

The theme park sprawls over a large area and has a multitude of rides most of which oriented around european folklores - hansel & gretel, snow white and rapunzel etc, hence you can be sure that kids are going to love it. However, what I personally found a bit lacking was rides that could cater to adults(similar to Universal Studios). However, efteling has a charm of its own and is a must visit in the Netherlands.

My favorite park. Clean, immersive, and great staff!

Amazing park, we stayed here for 3 days with kids who are 8 and 3 and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly for mid-August the wait on all attractions was beareale.

It really puts the word "theme" in Themepark. Nothing quite like it: wide open, excellent family rides, peaceful hidden spots, superb rollercoasters and allround enthousiastic staff. Put this one on your bucketlist.

Had so much fun and all the staff was super friendly!

Is an amazing place, for all ages. In my opinion soo much nicer than Disney. Cheaper, healthier food options, more shade from lots of trees and wooded areas(really helps with younger children on the hotter days of the summer) Not so many selfies being takenand people posing in front of the camera as Disney lol. Quieter and more peaceful but with some top rides that will fulfil the needs of adrenaline junkies. Great place

The best it s good please for all ages and big enough to enjoy

Efteling as always was good, but now with a kid 1 years old it is still good. Clean, cozy park. The hotel where we stayed was not bad. I've had better hotel beds before, maybe they need to change the bed in room 809.

If you visit the Netherlands and are looking for something special to do, block a day to visit the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel. This themepark is amazing and since the start in 1952 a place that many Dutch people visit every now and then. The entrance fee is not cheap and it does not include the 12 euro 50 parking fee. During holiday's you also will have to wait in line for most of the rides but there is also an option to buy an extra card so you won't have to wait in line.

You will not find a themepark that has more eye for detail. Every building big or small looks just amazing and if you have to wait in a queue, you'll notice the effort that went in on designing the themepark.

The Eftering is suited for kids and thrill-seeking grownups. Popular rides are the 'Droomvlucht', 'Fata Morgana', Villa Volta, Python, Baron 1898 and Joris en de Draak.

In 2019 a new ride opened, 'De Zes Zwanen'. Do not wait in line for this ride!! It is a waste of time!! That's just a personal tip, you wait in line if you like, if that's your thing, go for it! ;)

At closing time you'll be able to see a water/fountain show at the entrance of the park. It truely is beautiful and makes for a nice closure of the day at the Efteling. We hope you'll visit and enjoy your stay.

Dutch version of Disney with Dutch fairytales and good roller coasters. Prices in the park for food and drinks are quite ok.

Tons of fun! Me and my brothers and mother all grew up in this place of beauty and pure joy!
Wouldn t recommend going in the Baron 1898 if you have a weak stomach.

Best theme park i've ever been. Been coming here since I was a toddler and even as a grownup this place is great.

This is a theme park that's way better than Disney land in Paris. It has a park with all the fairytales, sweet rides with different tales and the whole park seems like one fairytale

Most beautifully decorated theme park I've visited!

All things considered the park is great if you are into theme parks, one of the very best id say. One thing i disliked was the price, since the last time i visited the price went up by 25% and it seems to be getting more expensive every year.

A great team park! We were a family with kids of 6 and 3,5 years of age. Starting off with the park of fairytales, we walked for about an hour and our kids enjoyed the different stories and were intrigued. Off we went to the attractions and there was plenty for the smaller kids as well as older once. Clean, organised and a fun park. You spend easily a day there and you could also do two full days if you want to see all the different parks.

Huge park. No waiting times for rollercoasters on a Tuesday mid December. Good attractions for young people, but also fun for the older crowd.

Went to the Winter Efteling, had a blast! Rode all of the roller coasters and barely had to stand in line for any. Definitely recommend going there with the family.

Very nice place but SUPER busy even on a Thursday outside vacation times. I recommend going when there are as few people as possible, since you will get more value out of your money.

I love efteling:) it's an amusing amusement park (pun intended). There is something for everyone. For kids, for thrill seakers. You can walk around there for hours, seeing it is also a literal park. Some attractions are a bit dated, but yes so nostalgic! (there are new ones being built/opened not so long time ago)
Minus point: food is expensive!

Park is in exceptional standing, super clean and the staff are helpful. Lots of options for food, however it's of course cheaper if you bring your own. Easy access via bus & train, or substantial parking is available also. Would recommend, and don't underestimate the time it takes to get around.
Recommend watching the water show!

We just had a company trip there and it was wonderful. I've been often in the past and this place just gets better, but busier. There were two new attractions since the last time we were there and they've built another one for opening in 2017.

Great for all ages! Very clean and not overly commercial. On par with Legoland.

Best amusement park period!
The park has a big variety of attractions for all ages. The level of detail and quality is unmatched and everything is build around a story.
A mandatory stop for anybody visiting Holland.

Fun for everyone. Cheaper than Disneyworld and almost as good.

Perfect place as for children as for adults! Can't imagine person, who will not like this charming place!

We visit the Efteling each year. This time with friends and it was so far the only time we could enjoy the attractions multiple times! It's usually very busy and one day is not enough to enjoy all the attractions. That's the only reason I don't give 5 stars. But we were very lucky this time!

Amazing experience! I loved the fairy tale forest. The park is extremely kid friendly and not too expensive for food. Fata Morgana was really beautiful to ride in!

Only wish it was a bit more English friendly. One of the rides I was waiting in broke down and the crew ordered everyone to get of the ride. However the instructions were only in Dutch.

Amazing place to go with the kids or just a group of friends. Some amazing rides, and some amazing food and drinks. Staff can't do enough for you. Everyone should go here just once and you will fall in love with the place, even for tots they have so much on for all ages so everyone should have a fantastic time here.

Must see. Wonderful place with meticulously crafted gardens, marvelous stories for children and adults. The perfect combination for spending a whole day here (without catching the virus of course)

Best amusement park in the netherlands. Recommended to get the app, it includes a live map of the park with your location, opening/closing of shops and restaurants, and most importantly, waiting time for rides.

Love it, great rides. Well thought through decorations of each attraction, theme is really bring you in.

Fun for everyone, it's a really nice way to spend a day doing fun things with friends or with the family.

We had a fantastic day at the Efteling, suitable for young and old alive.

Great park, but absolutely not vegan friendly. Bring your own food.
